Everyone must be familiar with the MoMA New York Museum of Modern Art. The MoMA PS1 joint exhibition hall located in Queens was once a public school. Later, because the school was closed, the abandoned building was slowly transformed into an art studio and art exhibition venue, and then became one of the most active contemporary art centers in New York today.
Because it was transformed from an abandoned building, it has a unique urban and old-time temperament, which collides with the modern art on display. The treasure of the town, Hide & Seek by Dream the Combine, shows the relationship between humans and urban space through the interlaced mapping of mirrors and lines. In addition, joint exhibitions are held from time to time with various artists. Interested friends can pay attention to it.

The Whitney Museum, established in 1966, is also a well-established museum worth a special visit. Its birth also has a story. The famous sculptor Ms. Whitney began to purchase and collect many works of art that were difficult to exhibit or not valued by artists with new ideas since the beginning of the 20th century. Due to the large number of collections, Ms. Whitney wanted to donate to the Metropolitan Museum of Art but was rejected. She simply founded her own art museum.
